wife got a new car
 
15 Attachment(s)
ok so about 2 years ago my wife bought a 70 chevy c10 pickup. she loved the muscle car feeling of it. well about a year ago she decided to sell it for something a little more family. we had a baby on the way and "the truck will scare the baby" "it's just not a family car" so she got a 91 civic sedan.
well after the baby she decided she wanted something cool again.
yesterday she calls me at work at tells me she found a 64 fairlane 500 for $1500 and it looks good. so last night at 10 pm we go and look at the car and it's in pretty good shape. so today we went and bought it.
its in pretty good shape for $1500. starts up first time every time and drove pretty good also. couple small things like any old car. well anyway i'm not a ford fan, but i like it. there is some glazing putty on the body cause the guy was gonna fix all the dings and get it painted, but stopped. not any major rust, just a little surface rust on the rain gutters and door edges. there is a bunch of ---- in the trunk so i'm not sure how the trunk pan is, but after looking at the rest of the car i'm sure it's not that bad.
anyway here are the pics he posted on craigslist, my wife is gonna take some tomorrow also.
the plans for it are to either have it repainted the blue or paint it flat black. put a good sounding exhaust on it and fix up the interior. after it's running good we might fix up the horsepower end of things.
we've been trying to get pre-smog cars. so now we are either gonna sell my crx or her 91 sedan.
if you read all this you are a fag
the missing door panel is in the trunk, but looks bad. good thing i know how to sew. i sew better then i weld. we've all seen my welds

What? If you have no idea what a straight bodied Falcon with decent interior, that runs and drives, goes for then you are a collosal fool.

I don't think I would ever let my kid ride in something without seat belts.

i thought you were the fool. when i got there i expected to see some major rust or frame damage. i could not believe when i saw the condidtion of the car.

------- retard, what makes you think i'm gonna let my baby ride in it without seatbelts.
the car has a full set of seat belts, the rear belts are under the seat.

Needs wood paneling on the outside.

After being called a retard, I thought it best to take another look. You are of course correct, there are lap belts all around.

Lap belts can cut people in half or cause major spinal injury in an accident. And old cars don't survive crashes much better than small ass civics. But whatever, it is a very cool car. Just not something I'd transport my progeny around in.
